One of the founders of Magnum Photos he made his name shooting war in black-and-white, but from the 1940’s on he increasingly turned to colour for publications such as ‘Life’ and ‘Holiday.’

The show also features portraits of Humphrey Bogart, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Ingmar Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.

Capa died in 1954 after stepping on a landmine while on assignment for ‘Life’ during the first First Indochina War.
